Ribno Alpine Resort, Bled, Slovenia

Looking for a peaceful, relaxing break somewhere a bit special? Nature-lovers, look no further. Ribno Alpine Resort is located at the edge of the spruce forest, on the outskirts of the quiet village of Ribno, about three kilometres from Bled. It's the perfect spot to connect with nature, get outdoors and discover Slovenia.

Luxury glamping near Lake Bled

There's lots to love about the Ribno, but we think our favourite bit has to be the luxury glamping pods. There are 17 individually designed pods, surrounding a natural swimming pool (accessible only by glamping pod guests) where you can enjoy a dip on warm days. The glamping pods offer a unique and special experience - each with its own private hot-tub on the terrace, an infrared sauna and ensuite.

In the main hotel building, the comfortable rooms are recently refurbished and furnished with lots of locally-sourced, natural wood - you'll notice lots of wood around the hotel, each piece is thoughtfully crafted and custom-made for its purpose. There's also a small wellness area (payable locally) with Finnish sauna, infrared room, whirlpool and relaxation area - massages are available to book locally.

Slovenia’s first zero-waste hotel

The Ribno pride themselves of their commitment to sustainable development, and obtained the Zero Waste Hotel certificate in 2018 - making them the first hotel and glamping in Slovenia to do so. Add to this the outstanding food, warm welcome and on-site bike rental to explore the area and you have a winning combination for your holiday.

Sustainability is important throughout the hotel and the kitchen is no exception. Slovenian and international dishes are made with fresh, locally-sourced produce, and served buffet style - to minimise food waste, you're encouraged to take several small plates rather than one large plate - you can go back to the buffet several times if you want.
